Abstract
ART-NANO aims to artistically portray the world of the nanoscale matter and of the interactions of nanoparticles with the living systems. Thanks to the use of advanced microscopy techniques, the extraordinary and fascinating beauty of the submicroscopical world is revealed to our eyes, giving to the observer emotions comparable to those of art.
Observing the pictures is a fascinating experience that also help in understanding the mechanisms at the base of the living and non-living matter. Moreover i twill bring the visitor to the knowledge of the risk for human and environmental health coming from the indiscriminate use of the new nanotechnologies.
